For the micro diggers, we run the Kubota K008-3, an incredibly compact digger, again giving great digging power for their size. Our fleet of mini diggers is one of if not the most modern in the area and all our machines, even the micro diggers, are fitted with quick hitch systems making the changing of buckets and attachments quick and easy.

Client Comments

Hi Tony,
It's not common for me to get so enthusiastic about a plant hiring service but you and your staff have been a thoroughly refreshing experience for me. I can't believe how well I've been looked after and I would (and will) heartily recommend your business to anyone. The machine has been great but the staff really do take the biscuit. Special thanks to Paul for going beyond the call of duty to make sure that everything was OK after my 'incident'. God bless you and your business Tony.
With my thanks, Nick

Hello Tony,

I just wanted to write and say a big thank you for the digger hire last weekend and the instruction I was given. I needed to move a large amount of chalk with a 1.5 tonne digger, and because I had never even seen one before was a little nervous. Being a woman, I thought it was not a job for me, however the kind man that delivered the digger showed me exactly how to use and told me the best way to complete the task. What I thought was going to take me 3 days actually ended up taking 3 hours so I was delighted.

Thanks you very much Kathy Walsh

Thanks for the hire of digger and dumper, managed to get so much done...great pieces of kit...will hire again at some point next year

Ian Bradley, Operations Director

Just wanted to say how efficient you and your staff were in supplying us with the digger for last week. I think the person who come to pick it up today was pretty astounded at how much we had managed to do. I had great fun destroying every thing in sight in my garden with the machine which I had been looking forward to doing for a long time.
The machine was very easy to use and get used to and the person who delivered it was very clear.

Teresa Pink, Operations Manager

When I visited Central Plant Hire I was warmly received by the manager who answered all my questions satisfactorily. The Diggers and Skip-Dumpers that I examined appeared to be in almost new condition and were obviously very well-maintained. This, and the fact that this contractor is a member of the Hire Association of Europe led me to place my order with Central Plant Hire. As anticipated, the service proved to be absolutely first class and whole operation ran like clockwork.

David H J Schenck, Salfords, Surrey

I just wanted to write to thank you for all your help with regards to a machine that we hired from you recently (3 tonne dumper, 13th Oct). I must admit we have hired from another local company previously and I also obtained a quote from them too. Although your quote was slightly higher the exceptional service we received from you, especially in terms of the response time to our enquiry and the condition of the machine compared to machines we have hired in the past was worth the extra cost. I will have absolutely no hesitation in recommending you to others and I look forward to dealing with you in the future.

Mark Howard-Smith

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to say what a great service you provide. Central Plant Hire were efficient, friendly and professional and the equipment was of a very high standard. I will be using your services again and will recommend to all of my friends.

Jonna M, Southwater

Having recently used Central Plant Hire for a garden project we found them very highly flexible and helpful. We used one of their digger operatives for the second half of our project and were really impressed with their skills and work ethic. I would thoroughly recommend their people and plant hire and it's definitely true that a skilled operator can do 3 or more times the work of a novice.

Jeremy H, Epsom

Thanks for a great service, time, a great machine to use.
Mick the delivery driver was very friendly and gave an excellent practical demonstration of how to use the machine on site and Tony at the office presented the business of hiring on a very professional level too. If I require a machine like this again there's only the one number I will need.

Owen

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to thank you for the service you provided.
The hire of the digger last weekend went faultlessly and we were able to get all of the work done that we wanted to.
I really appreciate you being flexible around the delivery and collection times, which made a huge difference to us.
I will certainly recommend you if I hear of anyone looking to rent a digger. I also look forward to being a customer again in the future when we come to building our new garage.
